Flamebait headline. FSD does not yet exist.
The point that the driver is responsible for their driving has already been made elsewhere in this thread. I’m not here to repeat that. Anyway it’s moot since any accident resulting is most likely the fault of those behind.
My main point is that FSD, as people here seem to understand it, Tesla FSD software, does not in fact exist. The FSD product SKU exists and you can buy it (thus pre-paying for the not-yet-created software and benefiting from some preview features) so, that part exists, but the software does not.
The notion that it does exist is a misconception that often leads to mistaken judgments about what is going on. People on HN can be better than that and can get it, that the beta of the thing, which comes with different behaviors and rules, is not the thing.
- rolenthedeep 4y agoCool story, but the car still crashed and hurt people
- natch 4y agoNo, the drivers behind hurt themselves. There’s a whole discussion about all this in the thread.
- alasdair_ 4y agoThis is like arguing that Gmail didn't exist even when it had tens of millions of users, because Google hadn't yet deleted the word "beta" next to the logo.
- natch 4y agoTo you maybe but not to me. Because I know that Gmail usage and behavior was functionally equivalent in beta to what it is in non beta. While FSD beta on the other hand has different usage and different behavior than what FSD will have if it’s ever released. Knowing this, the comparison falls flat.
